Site assembled wall and roofing systems offer excellent acoustic solutions

Site assembled wall and roofing systems have become a popular choice in construction. Driven in part by the myriads of pre-finished steel colours, available orientations and profiles, and perhaps more importantly their exceptional acoustic performance, particularly in reducing reverberation and providing weighted sound reduction.


These systems have the high mass of insulation and variability in system layers to allow for custom application design and combine the benefits of high-quality materials with precise installation, offering effective solutions for noise control in various building applications.

One of the primary acoustic advantages of site assembled wall and roofing systems is their ability to reduce reverberation within large, open spaces. The linings used in roofing and cladding systems can be designed with perforations and acoustic insulation materials that help control sound reflections. By absorbing and diffusing sound waves, these systems can reduce echo and unwanted noise, improving the acoustic quality of the interior environment. This is particularly beneficial in industrial, commercial, or sports facilities, where high noise levels can hinder communication and affect occupant comfort, and it is of critical importance for sound stages within film & tv studios.

In addition to reverberation control, site assembled wall and roofing systems also provide weighted sound reduction, which is crucial for buildings either creating or exposed to high noise sources, such as traffic, machinery, or nearby construction. The multi-layer construction of these systems helps create a high insulation mass to block and attenuate sound transmission. This ensures that noise is minimised in either direction, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.
